For new aquarists entering the world of live aquatic plants, the initial transition period can be challenging. Newly planted stems and root-heavy species often experience “melt”—a phase where leaves decay while adjusting to underwater conditions. Seachem Flourish Advance™ acts as a natural biological biological catalyst to fast-track adaptation and prevent plant loss.

How Phytohormones Work in Your Tank

Unlike basic fertilizers that simply provide micro or macro-nutrients, Flourish Advance relies on bio-engineered phytohormones (plant hormones) alongside key trace elements:

1. Initial Root Phase: During early application, the formula stimulates rapid root development underground. A stronger root network allows plants to anchor securely and uptake substrate nutrients effectively.

2. Shoot & Leaf Phase: Once roots are formed, the natural growth hormones shift focus toward lush vegetative growth, prompting plants to throw out vibrant leaves, stems, and runners.

3. Enhanced Absorption: Plants treated with phytohormones display an increased capacity to absorb minerals (like Iron, Potassium, and Nitrogen) from both the water column and root tab fertilizers.

How to Use for Best Results

• Dosing Instructions: Add 1 capful (5 ml) for every 80 liters (20 US gallons) of tank volume daily.

• When to Apply: Begin dosing immediately after planting new aquatic species or setting up a fresh aquascape.

• Compatibility: Works seamlessly alongside all standard plant care routines, including liquid macro-fertilizers (such as Seachem Flourish) and root tablets.
